Our Campground Stay:
We loved this boutique RV park with 28 spots. The entire park is well maintained with plenty of adjacent green space to walk the dogs. Book early as this park is a favorite for repeat customers. The location was great to explore the Olympic National Park and the Olympic Penninsula. We would definitely return here.
What to do:
Explore the Olympic National Park. Start at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center near Port Angeles and take a short hike on the dog-friendly Peabody Creek Trail, accessed from the parking lot. Take a driving tour from the visitor’s center to Hurricane Ridge. This 17-mile drive winds through the park and offers many overlook areas to view the glaciered mountaintops and endless forests. Stop at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor’s Center and hike the short trails for spectacular views. In Port Angeles, finish the day at the pet-friendly Barhop Brewing with brews and artesian pizza – yum!
Take the scenic route around Lake Crescent to the Spruce Railroad Trail on the northside of the lake. Park at the Northshore Picnic Area to access the trail. This dog-friendly forest trail hugs the north shore of Lake Crescent. Finish the day with a dip in the lake at the Northshore Picnic Area.
Spend a day exploring the Hoh Rain Forest, 31 miles south of Forks on Hwy 101. Stop at the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center and hike the self-guided nature trails.
Dip your toes in the Pacific Ocean at Rialto Beach, a dog-friendly natural beach with giant drift logs and offshore seastacks. This is not a swimming beach and dogs must be on a leash. Bring a picnic to take along on this stunning beach hike.
Sniff some lavender! We loved our visit at the Lavender Connection in Sequim. They offered free bouquets to military veterans and welcomed our dogs.
Taste wine at the Olympic Cellars in Port Angeles. This charming winery is dog friendly inside and out – woof!
Explore the quaint town of Sequim. We enjoyed an antique car show during our stay. The Alder Wood Bistro is excellent – reservations are a must.
Perk up with java at Red Dog Coffee in Sequim. Good coffee and they gave the red dogs some tasty treats!
Chili & Cedar’s Review: 4.7 PAWS out of 5 PAWS
The Gilgal Oasis RV Park was a fun place to stay. There was plenty of green space for us to walk. We had a lot of fun in the Olympic National Park taking drives through the rain forest and up to Hurricane Ridge. We hiked the Peabody Creek Trail and the Spruce Railroad Trail. We visited a winery, brewery and a lavender farm — good times for us!
